Clint Eastwood: Twitter Superstar

For those who’ve followed me on Twitter, I had started tweeting jokes about Clint Eastwood a couple of weeks ago. I was, of course, inspired by his performance at the Republican National Convention last month where he spoke to an empty chair (ironically, that chair had so much more appeal than Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan combined). Even though Clint Eastwood revealed himself as an extreme right-wing nut (and inadvertently created the Eastwooding phenomenon), I’m still a fan. With today’s release of Trouble With the Curve, I’ve decided to post all of the jokes I tweeted based on movies he appeared in. If you’re reading these for the first time, then please enjoy them. If you’re reading them for the second, third, etc. time, then please enjoy them again. (Also enjoy this pic that Pee-Wee Herman tweeted.)
